John Jacob Astor

"The purpose of our lives is to be happy."

"Get busy living or get busy dying."

"It is never too late to be what you might have been."

"The only way out is through."

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."

"The greatest wealth is health."

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear."

"The only thing standing between you and outrageous success is continuous progress."

"What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do."

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."

"Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny."

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."

"Truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

"The best revenge is massive success."

"Slow progress is still progress."

"Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants."

"The mind is everything. What you think you become."

"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."

"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra."

"Focus on being productive instead of busy."

"Your limitation—it's only your imagination."

"Great things never came from comfort zones."

"Dream it. Wish it. Do it."

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

"Don't stop when you're tired. Stop when you're done."

"Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction."

"The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
